4810.13.19.00 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS Code 4810.13.19.00, encompasses "Other" paper and paperboard that meets the specific criteria of being coated on one or both sides with kaolin or other inorganic substances, without additional coatings. It is intended for writing, printing, or other graphic purposes, and crucially, does not contain fibers obtained by mechanical or chemi-mechanical processes, or if it does, these fibers constitute no more than 10 percent by weight of the total fiber content. The paper is supplied in rolls and has a width exceeding 15 cm, weighing not more than 150 g/m².

This classification serves as a residual category for coated papers and paperboards that fit the general parameters but are not specifically enumerated in sibling categories. For instance, it excludes papers specifically designated for photographic sensitization (4810.13.11) and India or bible paper (4810.13.13.00), both of which have distinct characteristics and end-uses that warrant separate HTS codes. The "Other" designation signifies that any coated paper and paperboard meeting the preceding criteria, but not falling under the specific photographic or bible paper subheadings, should be classified here.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is determined by the exclusion of specific types of paper and paperboard from the broader definition of coated paper and paperboard used for graphic purposes, in rolls, exceeding 15 cm in width, and weighing not more than 150 g/m². Therefore, classification within this code relies on a careful assessment of the paper's composition, coating, intended use, and physical specifications to ensure it does not meet the criteria for more specifically listed items.
